CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL

CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL: CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL is a combination medication used to treat conditions associated with low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis.

Calcium is an essential mineral that is necessary for healthy bones, teeth, and muscle function. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D that helps the body absorb calcium from the diet.

The mechanism of action of CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL involves increasing the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and promoting its deposition in bones. Calcitriol also helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the body.

The recommended dose of CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL may vary depending on the specific formulation and individual patient requirements. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or the medication label.

Common side effects of CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL may include hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), constipation, nausea, vomiting, increased thirst, dry mouth, increased urination, muscle weakness, and confusion. It is important to monitor calcium levels regularly, especially in patients with kidney problems, as excessive calcium levels can lead to serious health complications.

It is crucial to inform your healthcare professional about any pre-existing medical conditions, ongoing medications, or allergies before starting CALCIUM AND CALCITRIOL to ensure its safe and effective use.
